| Benny Goodman - King Of Swing | ...In the third episode, from mid-1936, Benny's reputation has built quickly, on disc, in theatres and ballrooms, and on radio. The swing-band format was ALREADy fixed, certainly in Benny's mind: five brass, four saxes and rhythm, including his brother Harry on bass. A wonderful added attraction was his Trio, featuring Teddy Wilson on piano.

| Commission, The | ...Britain is buckling under the weight of excess traffic. Every year more and more cars pour onto the nation's roads, but what is the key to stopping them? In 2000 the government announced plans to reduce traffic levels in 2010 to 2000 levels, but even now they say we won't reach the target, so what are the options? In Spring this year the government announced a massive nationwide motorway extension and widening scheme which aims to reduce the pressure on our ALREADy heaving motorways, but can expansion like this really work in the long term? There is a review of the feasibility of road pricing currently underway which is due to report next year. Some form of road pricing seems to be the inevitable result of the review, but will it stop the nation from completely grinding to a halt? With the opening of Britain's first toll motorway imminent, The Commission asks whether more toll roads are the answer, or whether the congestion charge should be rolled out nationwide. Alternatively, should we just build more roads to cater for the increase in traffic? Nick Ross leads this week's panel of Commissioners, all of whom aim to bring their own unique experience into the debate. Answering their questions from five very different angles will be our five expert witnesses.... |
